One should of course also roll inverted and pull through
behind the tug to fool hin into thinking that the cable
didn't release. This is guaranteed to give tuggie a
heart attack.

what the glider pilot should do in these circumstances,

Simon Walker s comments read:

Usually they are pretty good and turn the opposite

Fine if you can count on your tug pilots ..

with a glider in a climbing right turn and tug in
a
descending right turn there should still be no conflict.
So no nasty accidents.

Agreed so whether they are awake or not should be
immaterial - unless
you pull of as they are flying to slow for you when
you are full of
water ...
